This cool, crisp delish is really easy to make and it tastes so delightful and delicious! A perfect accompaniment to the coming summer grilling season.
- 300-350 g Cucumber, sliced
- 50 g Carrot
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Brown sugar (preferable rock sugar)
- 3 tbsp White vinegar (preferable white rice vinegar)
- 2-3 Pickled pepperoncini
- 2-3 clove Garlic, sliced
- Thinly peel the carrot and cut the pickled chilli into small pieces. Rinse and slice cucumber. Place cucumber slices in a bowl together with peeled carrot and sprinkle salt over. Let stand for 2 hours.
- Drain, rinse well with cold water and drain again. Transfer cucumber and peeled carrots to a glass jar. Combine together honey, brown sugar, white vinegar, sliced garlic and pickled pepperoni in a bowl. Pour over the cucumber. Seal the jar and shake to mix. Marinate it in a fridge for 1 day. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired and serve.

Angie...I love this relish...goes well with our coconut milk rice :) love the crispness of the cucumber...yumm yummm
mmmmm, and I love what Elin said - I would love to try this with coconut milk rice - wow it sounds so good!
Really love this beautiful relish. Just perfect!
une salade fraiche et colorée, ça sent bon le printemps
bonne journée
Oooh...my favourite. I love this...very refreshing and appetising. I had just made some last week but with pineapple. It's great when eating curry. I love that you added carrots. It adds to the colour.
This will be a perfect accompaniment to summer barbecues. It looks delicious and the colors are wonderful. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary.
This is something that my mom will prepared for us especially during festive season. This goes well with roast meat and other heavy dishes. Thanks for the idea. Is time to make some :)
The local version is called Acar Rampai, with additional onions and sometimes fresh pineapples :)
Yours look really good.
This relish is so delicious, will be great with our 'nasi lemak'. As usual, your pictures are awesome. Btw, what's the brand and model of your camera?
A healthy light dish. I love the crunchy texture of cucumber!
What a beautiful salad. Looks very colorful and refreshing. Fantastic :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Well, a dilemma, I would love to make this appetizing dish soon however wish the humid weather to come later.
Une salade bien croquante.
J'aime beaucoup.
Bon weekend.
I love the close up! I turned on some friends in Texas to this side dish and now I hear the husband eats at the place often just to have some- lol, she does not cook often, so unless I make it for them, I will try and send her this post so she can see your beautiful dish, and maybe she will try!
You're right, the grilling season is coming again... I can imagine that this cucumber salad would taste good with any BBQ meat. Do you grill often?
oh wow looks so healthy and tasty great pic as well
enjoy your weekend Angie
This looks like a great accompaniment to traditional barbeque dishes.
This is what exactly I'm craving for now! SERIOUSLY!
Just wondering if I can use white wine vinegar?
I love the pics, so tempting and looks healthy
This would go best with some char-grilled pork or fish!

Perfect for spring dishes!

It looks so appealing Angie! So fresh and vibrant! I bet it's delicious.
Cucumber is the best. We'll need a lot of it to keep coola as summer approaches.
Very refreshing looking relish. Great recipe!
This relish looks so light and refreshing....a great accompaniment to spicy dishes.
Lovely relish! I like the addition of brown sugar and honey!
Such a pretty salad and so simple but the simple salads always seem to taste so good! I like that dish too.
Sounds like a very tasty salad. Have a wonderful Sunday.
This is so refreshing and appetising at the same time!
Yum....Nice to go with spicy food or briyani...
Cooking-Gallery: No.
Cheah: I use Canon G3....have a SLR, but I haven't used it for the food photography as I am not used to and familiar with it yet.
lululu: sure. wine vinegar will do.
And thanks a million, my friends, for taking time to leave me all the kind comments.
oh yumm, beautiful colours too, I could eat this all on its own
Best side dish ever! I think this should go pretty well with my chicken rice. hehe.... Have a great weekend! Regards, Kristy
What a fabulous relish! So colorful that my eyes popped open.
What great timing! Looking for somthing to do with the cucumbers for tonight's dinner. The honey addition adds something special to my usual ho-hum cucumber salad. Beautifully presented!
Angie
Just fiy: I have added a link on the post, you can order shredded phyllo from Amazon; also if you go on the company'site "Athens" they have a section where they list all the stores that they sell it at. I guess you are not in the US?
Saw your profile on another page. Glad I read your informative and well-written blog. Look forward to following you here. Cheers! Beautiful photography.
So refreshing and yummy!
What a beautiful fresh gorgeous tribute to Spring!
YUMMMMMM.

Ooh, I will be trying this recipe soon as I am always looking for new ways to use cucumber. This recipe looks beautiful.
I love any kind of relish and this looks super, super good and crunchy. I'm already thinking of the possibilities for this .. vietnamese baguette in particular!
Now this, this sounds good. I especially like the suggestion in some of the other comments to eat this with coconut rice. I will have to try this. :)
A delicious relish! Lovely with white meat or fish!
Cheers,
Rosa
I most certainly have to give this a try. It looks like the perfect light summer relish. Colorful and delicious1
Angie,
I haven't seen pickled pepperoni here in the US. Are you talking about the pepperoni (Italian cured sausage) that we use for pizza topping?
Tuty: They are the pickled green chillies.
So cute...certainly good for healthy and lose weight!!! Love especially the green chillies. Ooops...Just saw she said that as well.
